It also says that this is part of the special thing they are doing at the conventions this year, where the best castle from each con will be selected as a semifinalist. I guess if I don't win at BrickCon, I'll have to use this as my fallback plan

It'll be interesting to see if the number of AFOLs displaying castle creations goes up significantly at these events - perhaps even with some AFOLs going to these events solely to "compete". I even wonder if people don't win at an early convention on the list if they'd then go to another convention to "try again".

So which convention is likely to least amount of castle MOCs? ... BrickCon isn't a big castle show, right?
